Samsung Galaxy A9 is the world's first quad-cam smartphone

Samsung is set to put all the rumors to rest when it launches the Galaxy A9 (2018) later today. It's also been tipped to feature four rear cameras, and this is after all "A" Galaxy Event.

When is the Samsung Galaxy live stream?

The latest addition to the mid-range Samsung Galaxy A series of smartphones comes hot off the heels of the Galaxy A7 announced just weeks ago.

Below it is the 24-megapixel primary sensor with f/1.7 aperture. It is followed by 10-megapixel telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture. Sitting at the top is an 8-megapixel ultra wide-angle sensor with f/2.4 aperture and 120-degree field of view.

Besides that, the Galaxy A9's camera also feature the company's Scene Optimiser scene-recognition software that can recognise up to 19 different scenes, and Flaw Detection, where the phone will actually inform you if you've taken a bad shot. The phone is powered by an octa-core processor with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB storage, which is expandable up to 512GB via a microSD card slot. The handset is loaded with Android 8.1 Oreo and Samsung's Experience UX. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, USB Type-C, 3G and 4G (with support for Band 40 used by some LTE networks in India). A fingerprint scanner is present on the backside of the phone.

Given that our phones have become our go-to cameras over the past decade, it's nice to see that Samsung devoted so many resources to providing a smartphone that has an entire grab-bag of dedicated lenses at its disposal in a single device. Meanwhile, round the front there's a 24MP selfie camera with its own.
